When I log in to the board , the option I clicked was "forever" and it shows me as a member that is logged in but if I were to leave for a short while, come back, I have to log in again. Why, as it never did this before.

Also, if I'm not logged in, it still shows me as being logged in down at the bottom but I can't post anything unless I go back up top to log in again.

Also also, how come my registered member account under "foolsgold" is not recognized! I see way too many ficticious names every day and a lot of them are deleted but why delete a REAL member?

Since you are registered under both names apparently, I would guess that the program can not keep both names as signed on. That is also assuming you logged in using the same email address. Only a guess on my part. Foolsgold has not been deleted. See below.Richard

I've been waiting for someone to mention this, as it suddenly started happening to me as well a couple of weeks ago. I don't think it's anything to do with my PC as I use usernames dozens of times a day on various sites, and this one is the only one which forgets who I am. It's only a minor irritation - usually it simply means I have to log-in again to see any 'photos (or, of course, occasionally to post)

When setting up your profile, the are several profiles you may select. I tried something other than the default theme several months ago and had a similar problem as to what ACE is describing. Richard

I'm like the other poster. I don't think it's my pc cause it won't even let me log OUT once I'm in but it always ask me to log in when I return to it! I tried to look and read without logging in and it allows me to do this sometimes, but mostly it ask me to log in first.

The theme has not changed on my pc so I have no idea what the heck you are trying to say!

All I know is BEFORE I had 2 registrations that worked fine and NOW I have only ONE and that works half as good (if that) as it did before!

It appears, looking at your profiles, that you have been logged in today under each name, Ace and Foolsgold. I suspect you will have to delete one of these profiles. Richard

I have had a similar problem. seems that the new browser cleanup routines for things like McAfee's latest garbage that they keep installing even though I don't want "cleanup" running and clearing my cookies every day.

McAfee also deletes temp files, history and cookies and logins that it thinks it doesn't like even though you tell it to leave stuff alone...I suspect that some of the routines in the new IE7 and some of the patches to IE6 may also be doing something similar.

Hey Dave may have just hit on something, as I just realized that when I use dad's laptop I have to sign in! And when I use my PC or laptop i don't ! The only thing that I know of that has changed on dad's is he has upgraded to IE7 and I have refused too! So that maybe where part of the problem is as my 2 computers that have not been upgraded still work as they always have! and the one that has been upgraded is also making me sign in all the time!Just my 2 cents worth as I really have no clue! I am as computer illiterate as they come! BK

Good Luck and let us know if you figure it out.

Dave....

Dr. Dave,I've always detested McCrappies. It not only doesn't work well with many programs, it also installs so much bloatware that has no relevence to anything I want to do.I eventually went to Nortons and for about 6 years, that was all I would install on customers computers, unless they specifically requested something else. Not that I liked Nortons either, it required so many resources that slower computers would almost stop when it was running.

About a week ago I got fed up with Nortons and finally downloaded AVG antivirus (freeware) and have been VERY pleasedwith the results. My personal computer is an old 600mhz that I built from parts, and AVG allows me to continue on doing whatever I'm working on without much of a slow down at all.

I also quit using IE. I now use Firefox and have had much less problem with adware, spyware and malware. Infact, my msn email seldom gets a spam email anymore, whereas with IE I was getting 40 or 50 everytime I checked email.

The worst problem I found with Firefox was getting it set for my preferences. Once I figured that out, it's been a joy to use, even with my slow dialup.

I know people that use the "FreeWare" systems.Some have good luck... Some don't...

I run several enterprise level networks, been through the crippling effects of anything from Norton and a coupleof the other HI-Line antivus systems. Even ran Panda for a while.

The sad state of things is that Freeware leaks and is not always really as effective as it may look and feel.Kinda like you get what you pay for in some ways.

My mistake was that I let McAfee do an upgrade to my licensed copy on my home computers. They sent all the garbageknown as "Security Center" hidden in the update. This has basically P*******d me off as now I have stuff being installedand removed without my permission.

I have complained and even threatened them to no avail.

Luckily my Enterprise networks use a version that doesn't have the extra garbage.. ( so far ...)

Have no idea what is causing the problems, but we upgraded to IE7 about 1 week ago and have seen no change in operation of this BB. I seem to stay logged in on both our home computer (IE7) and on our laptop (?older IE version). Who know what goes on out there in Cyber Space??? Jack
